Boy is pushed to the ground and has phone stolen in suspected robbery

Police are investigating after a boy was pushed to the ground and had his mobile phone stolen.

A spokesman for Humberside Police said: “We are investigating a robbery which happened in an area known locally as Witty’s Passage, Newbegin, Hornsea around 5:10pm on Monday 18 June.

“A boy was walking alone when he was approached by a cyclist from behind who pushed him to the ground and stole his Samsung mobile phone.

“The boy was not injured and was able to give a description of the cyclist, stating him to be a tanned man with a stubbly beard and no front teeth. He was wearing a dark grey flat cap, a light grey, long sleeved jumper and blue denim knee length shorts. He was said to be riding a purple, white and blue mountain bike.”

Anyone who recognises the description of the man or anyone who has seen the stolen phone, which is a blue Samsung Galaxy A3 with a pop socket, attached to the back, should contact police on 101 quoting crime reference number 16/65467/18.

Electricals retailer Dixons Carphone has reported a 24 per cent fall in profits to £382 million for the year to April 28 and has warned that profits will fall again in the year ahead.

The retailer’s results come a week after it revealed a major cyber attack.

Alex Baldock, chief executive of Dixons Carphone, said the company had “plenty of work to do” in the wake of the attack, which saw 5.9 million customer bank card details and 1.2 million personal data records hacked.

Dixons said profits for 2018-19 would be £300 million, representing a fall of 22 per cent.

The group, which is responsible for Currys, PC World, Team Knowhow and Carphone Warehouse in the UK, revealed plans to close nearly 100 stores last month and warned over the expected profits hit for the new financial year as it braces for a slowdown in the UK electricals market and cost increases from the national living wage and IT depreciation.
